A eorrnERN MONUMENT.

This is matter of the livelies; inter
est not only TO the people of Richmond,
but of the whole South, for il is not pro-
posed TO erect monument to the Nir-
ginia soldier, but to the private who un-
murmuringly endured rags, priyation,
discomfort loss of health and even death
itself for the Southern Confederacy. II
is a monument, therefore, that appeals to
the entire Southern heart, and should be
splendid success. 1t is to be hoped
that the mass-meeting at Corcoran Hall
next Tuesday will be enthusiastically
and largely attended in accordance with
that noble sentiment Of gratitude which
should fill the hearts of all for whom the
private soldier fought and gave his life.

The continued efforts on the part Of
the board Of directors Of the Soldiers and

ing on towards the success OF the plan Of
erecting a monument 10 the private sol
dier. There are number OF gentlemen
ready to contribute large sums-from
five hundred dollars upwards-the mo-
ment the scheme for the erection of this
monument assumes definite proportions.
These gentlemen believe in what they un
dertake TO patrOnize, and don't want

toriety. They mean business.
TIE coRcoRAN HALL MEETING.
It was pity that the rain Friday night
interfered so materially with the attend.
ance at the mass meeting then intended
to be held in COrcOran Hall. As il was,
large number OF ladies and gentlemen
came from their homes in all portions of
the city through mud and water TO evince

dresses.
DESIGNS FOR THE MONUMENT.

a proposed monument which would only
cost about 100000 This was square
tower arched on four sides at the bottom,
and under it an eight-foot bronze figure
of private soldier, reproduction in
metal in that OF Mr.. John A. Elders
well-knOwn and most admired painting
"Appomattox." Other and more ambi-
tious views are entertained, which are
that the tower should be l25 feet high,
with 1000 candle power electric light
on top. which would shed radiance all
over The river and county below the city
where the man who fought, and whose
gallantrv and bravery is to he commem-
GRATED, actually earned his immortal
hOn0rs Under The tower in the four
arches it is proposed to place four heroic
sized statues representing the four
branches of the service-iniantryc calvary,
artillery, and naval Such a monument
could be seen from Hollywood and Oak
wood where thousands of the private sol.
diers sleep their last sleep, while the
light at night would be a shining beacon
for miles around, signalling that i'm the
Capitol of the Coniederacy 'or which the
soldier died with his wounds i'm the front
